Academic journals are getting more expensive every year, so the library is not able to provide access to every journal article. But your ISU library has solutions to get you the articles you need!
You should always access databases via a link from the ISU library's home page or subject guide! Databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar can check our holdings and provide a link to ISU resources (the orange "Find it @ ISU" button) when they are available.
When you access PubMed or Google Scholar from an ISU library page, the link will contain "libpublic3.library.isu.edu," showing that the database knows you have access to full text through ISU.
When you run a search in Google Scholar via the library's website, results will appear with a "Find it at Idaho State U" link to the right of the record. Clicking this link will take you to ISU's full text access for this article.
Use the database tab on the library's homepage to find a link to the database you wish to search, or access it from your ISU Subject Guide. The image below shows the ISU Library homepage with the database tab selected, and the CINAHL database has been chosen from the drop-down menu.
